High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo a.k.a Tompolo, a former Niger Delta militant leader has reacted to the rumour making the rounds that he was shot dead during the House of Representatives primary election in Bayelsa State.
This is contained in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Bebenimibo.
He said; “The attention of High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, has been drawn to an online report that one Tompolo was killed in Ogbia during the Peoples Democratic Party primaries for House of Reps and Senate.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, this story has nothing to do with High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo. He is hale, hearty, and doing well by God’s grace.”
“The general public should know that High Chief Government Ekpemupolo is a leader of the masses and will continue to speak for the masses.”
“He urges the general public to disregard the malicious online report of his death.”
